Don't store avocado like this: it's dangerousIt becomes more and more difficult to buy gods solar which, however, we know are necessary if we have to be exposed to the sun for a long time. We worry even more, understandably, if these will have to be smeared on the skin of children. From the United States comes the warning of be especially careful with spray sunscreens.
These solar products, very comfortable and practical to use, however, have on their side a big drawback: there is a possibility that parts of the product instead of going to the skin they are inhaled by the child. As we know these sunscreens most of the time contain harmful chemicals which are obviously even more so when inhaled. It must also be said that even if made with organic and ecological ingredients, such a product must absolutely not be breathed.
La Food and Drug Administration (Fda) American has been working on it for some time survey with regard to potential risks of spray sunscreens. The outcome is still uncertain but, as Consumer Reports advised, until certain conclusions are reached, it is better to avoid using these products. In case you have to use it because you don't have alternatives available at the moment, you can spray the sunscreen on your hands and then approach the child and spread it. Particular attention should be paid to the face, carefully avoiding areas too close to the eyes and mouth.
Similar recommendations apply to adults as well: never spray the sprays directly on the face, always on the hands first, thus avoiding inhalation as much as possible. It is also good to make sure that you have applied enough product as, especially if there is wind, you may not reach the quantity necessary to perform its protective functions well.
